Favorite “Dating” Words

by

I love words. I read books about words. I have a degree in words (of another language). I write a lot of words. I absolutely adore words. Some words are short and concise while others are drawn-out and without end. I love them all.

My favorite word, above all others, is definately muliebrity, which means “womanly nature or qualities, the state of being a woman.” I rarely use it because no one else knows what it means and I have to define it each time (which I should also take pleasure in … maybe I need to think about this and begin using it more?!?) but not only is it a pretty sounding word (myoo-lee-eb-ri-tee), it has a beautiful definition, too! I shall try to use this more … more people need to use my favorite word.

There are a lot of words surrounding the idea of dating that I also like … and seem to use quite often when speaking of my emotions regarding dates, men and their actions. I thought maybe I’d list three positive and three negative ones in hopes that someone else would pipe up with new “dating” words they like! Here goes!

smitten - (this has many definitions, one of which includes “struck, as with a hard blow” … that’s not the definition I’m thinking of, but it might work in a “dating” sense!) I like the “very much in love” definition best. (This word is a past form of the better-known word smite. LOL)
twitterpated - confused by affection or infatuation (do you remember this word from Disney’s Bambi?)
enamoured - delighted with

repulsed - extreme aversion
overbearing - to treat in a domineering way; dominate; to overcome or overwhelm
creepy - of, pertaining to, or characteristic of a person who is a creep; obnoxious; weird (this is my favorite negative dating word … it can take so many forms!)

All definitions are courtesy of Dictionary.com today!

About Dating Outlook

What's not to like about dating? Plenty. The awkwardness, the drama and starting all over again (and again...) until we find that special someone. However, there are some pretty great things about dating and if nothing else, hopefully you meet some great people along the way. Stick around for some not so humble opinions, reflections and thoughts about the good, the bad and the downright ridiculous woes of dating.
